The summary describes a laser system with different operating modes, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.
Yes
The device is used for the removal of dark, unwanted body hair in dermatology, which is a medical treatment.
No
The device is described as a laser system intended for the removal of dark, unwanted body hair, which suggests a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose rather than a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to detect, identify, or monitor a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Laser System" capable of emitting a "pulsed treatment laser beam," indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in dermatology for the removal of dark, unwanted body hair." This is a therapeutic or cosmetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a laser system that emits a laser beam. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.
